Send a text
Hey fam! It's been awhile but I'm back! The podcast is back for biweekly episodes while I get the routine down mentioned in this episode.

This episode is about the things I've been doing that have helped quell my anxiety and lead a more balanced life. Grab your tea and a snack because this is a long one and I'm telling on myself :-O

I appreciate you if you've stuck around through the hiatus. You a real one!

April 18, 2021 Wake Up
Send a text
Thank you so much for listening! This episode was requested by my friend Agnes and is about waking up earlier/becoming a morning person. I'll be honest, I think being a morning person is just part of who I am, HOWEVER, I'm throwing in some tips on how you can transition to getting up earlier if you're interested. If you're a night owl, no shame here! Live your best night life. Remember you should be living for you and what works best for your situation.

Thank you so much for listening! This episode tells the story of the time I cut off almost all of my hair and what a liberating experience it was. If you're struggling with who you are or being a people pleaser, let this episode give you some comfort. Even if you're not struggling, I hope this episode leaves you inspired to do something you may have been putting off for whatever reason. I don't judge. I appreciate you and hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for listening! This week I have one of my best friends, Chianne, join me on the show. We're sharing what it's like being only children and how it may have affected our upbringing and how we turned out as adults. We struggled with tons of technical difficulties, so please hang in there with us! Let me know what topics you're interested in hearing about here: BWR Site

February 14, 2021 Not Your Average: Being Authentic
Send a text
Thank you so much for listening! Today we're going beyond putting yourself out there (listen to episode 4) and talking about being authentic. I'm sharing some of my least proud moments where I wasn't really true to myself in the hopes that I encourage you to get out there and be true to who you are. Don't be ashamed of anything you like or like to do. Do you, boo.

February 05, 2021 Put Yourself Out There
Send a text
Hey hey! Were you looking for me? Sorry there's no song reference for this title ;)

I'm still here, just had to get myself together after a family loss. This episode is all about putting yourself out there, the delicate topic of self-promotion. How can you self-promote without coming across as spammy or bragging? Are you so worried about coming across that way that you don't say anything about any of your work/projects? Well the latter is me and I'm working on it and so should you. So let's work on it together! This episode is about what I learned from a few readings (see below) and some practical applications. Let's improve on promoting our work together and check in at a later date.

Additional & Referenced Readings:
Forbes - Self Promotion is a Leadership Skill
Harvard Business Review - Improve in the Delicate Art of Self-Promotion
Lifehack - 11 Rules for Self-Promotion

Send a text
Thank you so much for listening! This episode is about letting go of the previous year and all of the things you couldn't control to make room for a theme for the upcoming year. The theme isn't to replace setting goals for yourself, but sets the stage for all of the goals you will set throughout the year.
